I am here with another post and would be reviewing Nose Mask by Beauty Host. So I went to Victoria Departmental Store and saw this small cute pack and thought why not give this one a try too? So I got this for Rs. 25. This Sunday I used it and here is my experience with this product. This is how the product packaging is. Its a small plastic pack with the contents inside.

This is the back of the packet with chinese written all over it and few lines of instructions written in English.

So this is how the product looks like. Its like a black thicky liquid, stringy like mozeralla cheese. All you need to do is cleanse your nose and apply a layer of the mask on the nose smoothly. Let it dry for about 15-20 minutes. The mask would dry up just like a peel off mask and you can easily remove the whole of it by stretching and pulling off the mask.

The main ingredients of this product are cherry and comedo free oil. Cherry is for the whitening effect. The nose mask says it would remove the black heads,oil and dirt on the nose making it appear clean and smooth. But this has not been the result I witnessed for myself. The mask is not sticky enough due to which I think it does not extract black heads very effectively. After I peeled off the mask I did not notice any visible difference. All the black heads were still there, I could see them. In addition I donot like the material of the mask. It feels as if one is putting black shoe polish over the nose. Its odorless so smell is not an issue here. Overall my experience has not been so great with this product and I would not waste my Rs. 25 even on such a useless product. I still can use this product twice or thrice more. But I dont think I would again be giving it a try and neither would I recommend you to try it.

Here is another nail post for you lovely ladies. I am sure you are going to love this one.

So I have been trying really hard to find shatter/crackle nail colors in Lahore but without success for quite sometime. This Saturday I went to Al Fateh defence and there I spotted this graffiti nail polish by Golden Rose. At first I didnt notice that its actually a shatter polish. I read the instructions at the back of the box and you cannot imagine how excited I was to finally lay my hands on this baby.

So this is the cardboard packing of the nail color with instructions to applying it written on the back of the box.

These shatter polishes are available in several colors like pink, green, white and black. I got myself a black one only just to try out how it works. This is the result this nail colors gives out and I am sure it is similar to any other shatter polish.

On my first finger the effect is not so great reason being I followed the exact instructions mentioned on the box. It says to apply a layer only in the middle of the nail. But I found that applying in the middle results in shatter in the middle only, it does not cover the whole nail. In order to get a shattery effect over the whole nail you need to apply it on the whole nail and apply it real fast. These polishes are liquid but with a thick consistency and dry out ultra fast. By ultra fast I mean ULTRA FAST. It dries simultaneously when you are applying it so better be quick about it. Another thing I would like to mention here is to avoid using it under the fan or direct air flow as it dries out real fast and I am sure you would not want your shatter polish to dry out in its bottle before even getting the chance to flaunt it.

All you need to do is apply any nail color of your choice like I have applied Sunshine by Color Studio Professional. Let it dry out completely. Quickly apply a thin coat of Golden Rose Graffiti Nail color on the nails. It will dry our real fast. Then aaply a top coat over it to seal the shatter effect and also for a dazzling shine. Easy isn't it?

In short I am really pleased with the result of this Graffiti nail color by Golden Rose. I do not know whether this quick drying effect is also with other shatter polishes or is just only with Golden Rose. If anyone of you has some other brand shatter nail colors let me know if that is the case with them as well. Overall I would rate this product a 5/5 and would definitely buy it in other colors as well. I also recommend you to give it a try. I am sure you are going to love it.

How are you all doing? I am here with another post about face care. I went to Victoria Departmental Store and there my eyes fell upon this pack lying on the display counter. Now I am not sure at all if its a Chinese brand or a Japanese but I guess its Chinese. There were several other kinds of asks displayed there but this particular one appealed me because its a whitening mask and secondly the quantity of this product. At that time I was definitely not sure about the quality and results of this mask, I hust wanted to give it a try.

Its a 1000 gms pack and the picture below is the back of the packet with instructions written as to how to use this mask powder.

Upon opening the packet there is another polythene zip lock bag which contains the mask powder.

According to the instructions take 10 gms of the powder in a bowl and mix it in water or milk or egg, whatever suits you. Apply it to your face with the help of a face mask brush and leave it to dry for 15 - 20 minutes. After that rinse it with water.

My experience with this product has been great. I have used it twice so far and I have noticed a visible difference after using it. My skin feels fresh as if it has been ridden of all dirt. The pores seems to be happy to be able to breathe and it does give a whitening effect right after washing which might fade out later. It also smells nice like Clean & Clear face washes. You can use it twice or thrice in a week. Overall I would give Gingko face powder 4.5/5. I would buy it again for myself and recommend you to try it out as well. It costs Rs. 395 which I think is quite reasonable for the quality and quantity.

Share your views with me. Let me know if anyone of you has tried out this product. How was your experience with it? Stay Healthy and beautiful. Take care!﻿

So most of us know that Color Studio Professional line has been launched in Pakistan recently in Karchi and Lahore. And I could not help myself and immediately went to Hyperstar yesterday. Color Studio counter is at display on the ground floor just next to the entrance. You cannot miss it while entering the grocery section. They have an amazing collection with such versatile colors ranging from bright to pastels. You must check it out to experience it yourself. Right now only nail colors and lip glosses are available but I guess they shall expand their collection in future. So anyways I could not resist and got myself a few colors. I guess I'll soon be going again to get some more as I am a big fan of nail colors.

So I got myself these three colors for now. The price for each color has been set Rs. 250 but there is a promotional discount going on till chand raat and you can get each nail color on a 25% discount for Rs 189 only. Another thing about Color Studio brand is that they are a cruelty free brand and are against animal testing. The content of the bottle is 11ml per bottle.

Here is a quick review on one of the nail colors

Bright orange and yellow are very much in vogue this summer. So the first color I chose was this yellow shade named as SUN KISSED. It is a very nice bright yellow color and looks very nice on the nails.

This is the result I got after three coats. It dries out fast when applied on nails which is a good thing for me. I dont like to wait for hours for the nail color to dry. The brush applicator is thick for an excellent nail coverage and the brush holding cap also provides a good grip. Overall I am very happy with this product and totally satisfied. I would definitely buy more colors and recommend you to try them out as well. You can join Color Studio Pakistan page by clicking on this link.

I am back with another nail post and its a small quick tutorial on how to do french tips yourself. I bought this pack of french tips set yeterday and was so excited to check them out that I also thought to do a quick post for it. So lets get started.

Marylins Manicure Francesa is a 4 bottled set of polishes along 60 stencil tips to give you a perfect manicure look. Beginning from left to right, the clear transparent bottle is the base coat. Next to the base coat, the white colored bottle is for the tips and next two are the top coats. The lighter pink gives a transparent finish while the darker pink color gives a translucent natural pink shade to the nails.

These are the 60 stencil tips that you can stick to your nails right below where you want to polish the tips. If you have an unsteady hand all you have to do is remove a strip from the sheet and stick it on your nail. Using the white color, paint tips without worrying that it didnt go straight because when you will be removing the stencil it will be nice neat curve. ﻿

Ok what I did in the above picture is I applied the white color tips to my nails. I didnt apply the base coat or didnt use the stencil because I am pretty much adept making neat curves now. Let the tips dry for a while and apply the top coat of your choice. ﻿

And voila! here is the final look of my nails. I used the lighter pink shade as the top coat for a transparent natural look. You would need to practice a little to make nice neat tips, eventually you will get a hang of it.

As for the prosuct review I really liked this set. Its a great Tips set and I am loving it alot. The applicator brushes are perfectly sized to apply tips and top coat and base coat. The only drawback I found with this set is the smell of the nail colors. They have a sharp odor to them but its bearable. I purchased this set for Rs. 185 (unbelievable) from Decent departmental store located in Model Town. Overall I would rate this product a 5/5 ignoring the smell of the polishes and yes I would love to buy this set gain too.

Do u hate those black spots appearing on your nose making it look all dark and ugly? If Yes (I am sure) then keep on reading!

So I was grocery shopping with my mom in Hyperstar and I went to the cosmetics section where my eyes fell upon this pack. Upon taking a closer look I saw these are nose pore cleansing strips. To be honest at that time I just put them in my cart because I liked the girl on the packet and I thought what the heck, why not give it a try......!

So a week before I tried them out and here is my experience..... The pack contains 6 strips and each strip is enclosed in a silver wrap. tear open the silver wrap and take the strip out.

Here is how the strip looks. It is white in colour and is pasted on a transparent plastic sheet. Follow the instructions written on the cardbox box and also on the silver wrap for best results. Here's what I did and what you should do as well.... Thoroughly wash your face removing all makeup, dirt and oil. Moisten your nose with a little water afterwards because the strips wont stick if the nose is dry. Remove the transparent plastic and stick the sticky side of the nose strip evenly on the nose avoiding any bubbles. Let it remain for about 15 to 20 minutes. By that time the strip would have dried out. Gently start removing the strip. If its sticking too hard use a little water to remove it. And Voila! there you have it...... a clean, bright, smooth nose, soft to your touch. It removed my black heads and some white heads as well. Now I would not claim that it removes 100% black heads because so far I havent witnessed a single nose pore strip doing such a great job but yes these strips are definitely good. If not all, it removed 93% of my black heads and I am very satisfied with the results of this strip. ﻿

I do not remeber the exact price of the product but it ranged between Rs 100-150 I think. Overall I would rate this product as 4.7/5 and would recommend you to try it out. Let me know what you think of my post. Share your views with me. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!

Today my post is going to be about jewellery. I am sure many of you must be familiar with the brand name BEECH TREE. Its a clothing line but they also have shoes, hand bags and other accessories. Another sister line of Beech tree is their new line by the name of ABSOLUTE by Beech Tree. Its an accessories line and they have very pretty earings, rings, bracelets and necklaces. You must visit their outlet in HKB in Liberty Market and DHA. They also have an outlet on M.M. Alam Road in G.N.C Plaza but the last time I went there it only had their clothing line. So last week I went to HKB and was roaming aroung looking at dresses when this pair of earings caught my eye.

These are silver colored round shaped earings. They are more like greyish silver not the sparkly bright silver color.﻿ They look so cute on ears. I have been complimented alot whenever I have worn these earings. I got them for Rs. 599 and for the price they are amazing. There is also other cute and pretty stuff on absolute accessories by Beech Tree. You must go and check it out for yourself.

In this post I am going to tell you about my waxing routine. I have a girl who comes to my house to wax me. I don't know but I usually avoid going to salons for waxing. I like doing it in the confines of my room. But sometimes it so happens that there might be occassions where you need to go all of a sudden and your waxing girl cannot come to wax you for her own reasons. What to do then? Well for these very reasons I got myself this BQueen wax tub.

Today's post is about Lakme's fairness face wash from their Perfect Radiance line. This line I guess three products, a fairness day cream, fairness face wash and a fairness day lotion. I only got my hands on this fairness face wash.

Brow Beauty Kit by Ylure for Rs. 595 from Roop Singhar Liberty Markets Dupaata Gali. It has different eye brow shaped stencils, a tweezer, a brow gel, a double ended brow pencil for dark and light hair and a arch defining pencil.

Starting from the left corner the parrot green shade is number 39 and name of the shade is LIME UP!, the next sea green shade is number 54 and the name of the shade is TRUST IN FASHION, the bluish shade is number 55 and the name of the shade is LET'S GET LOST, lastly the orangy coral shade is number 22 and the name os the shade is WHAT DO U THINK? I got these from Alfatah ator Liberty Markets. They were I guess for Rs. 180 or Rs 200. I do not remember the exact prices as I have misplaced the receipts.

The essence XXXL shine lipgloss was also purchased from Alfatah store Liberty markets. I donnot exactly recall the price but it was in the range of Rs. 300 to Rs. 400.﻿

Essence all eyes on me mascare in deep purple shade. Looks se pretty when applied on eye leashes. This was also between Rs. 300 to Rs. 400.﻿

Garnier pure deep pore face wash for Rs. 550 from New Line cosmetics in City Towers Lahore.

Slider's lip balm in cherry flavor for Rs. 150 from New Line cosmetics situated in City Towers Lahore.

I also got these essence smokey eye palettes from Alfatah Liberty Markets. They were for Rs. 360 each.

I got this Rivaj fan brush from Hyperstar shopping mall. There is a Flormar and other affilated brands cosmetic store in Hyperstar. They have stocked some really good imported products plus a wide range of Flormar and Rivaj cosmetics. I really like this fan brush it provides a good coverage on my face. I got this brush for Rs. 390.

Hope you girls enjoyed my haul. Let me know what you think of the products. Share your comments with me. Stay healthy and beautiful. Take care!
